Beginning with the early coastal settlements of the 1700s and continuing through the 100-year colonial period, this book examines the 24 individual parishes that made up the administrative and ceremonial centers of Anglican community life in South Carolina. The surviving parish churches make up one of the nation's largest concentrations of early American church architecture, and their histories, gleaned from archival holdings in America and Great Britain, provide insights into the life of the clergy, vestries, and communicants who worshiped at these sites. The story of the origins and the development of these Anglican church parishes is one of the triumph of the human spirit over the often bewildering circumstances of colonial life.

ANGLICAN CHURCHES IN COLONIAL SOUTH CAROLINA
Their History and Architecture
The story of the origins and development of the Anglican church parishes in colonial South Carolina is one of the triumph of the human spirit over the often bewildering circumstances of colonial life.
Beginning with the early coastal settlements of the 1700s and continuing through the 100 year colonial period, Dr. Linder's work examines the 24 individual parishes that made up the administrative and ceremonial centers of Anglican community life.
The survining parish churches make up one of the nation's largest concentrations of early American church architecture, and their histories, gleaned from archival holdings in America and Great Britain, provide important insights into the life of the clergy, vestries and communicants who worshipped at these sites.
Anglican Churches in Colonial South Carolina is a welcome addition to our library of information on the history and architecture of the state and the nation.
Dr. Suzanne Cameron Linder was educated at Converse College and Wake Forest University and received her doctorate at the University of South Carolina.
